because i know all of you were on pins and needles, anxiously awaiting my return from the 3rd world to the blogosphere (isn't that what they call it?) i'm writing this very short post just to let you know that yes, i made it back safely. i'm also still a little exhausted (because going on a week-long mission trip then jumping straight into vbs will do that to you) so this one will be short and sweet.
our trip. was. incredible. i have never been anywhere where there is so much need, and so much gratefulness. these people need food and clothing, but they desperately need Jesus. i think that is the greatest thing that i took away. Christ IS life and He alone is able to give the security and hope that all of us long for - it's just easier to see that He is what really matters when there is truly not a whole lot else there.
thank you so much for your prayers (and some of you, your financial support). Justin and I couldn't have done it without both. please know that you will be hearing more about this country and what the Lord is doing there. and if you get REALLY into it, i'm putting the blog on my daily obsessions. this is perhaps one of my healthier ones.
this is one of my favorite parts of my job: watching these students as they share Christ and His love with others (and end up a little changed themselves in the process).
